Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

Kinetic energy is solved by the formula,
                          KE = 0.5 x m x v²
First, convert the given speed in km/s to that with unit of m/s.
                        (10 km/s) x (1000 m/ 1 km) = 10000 m/s
Use the formula to obtain the KE
                           KE = 0.5 x (100 kg) x (10000 m/s )²
Thus, the value of its kinetic energy is 5x10^9 J.

A helium balloon ride lifts up passengers in a basket. Assume the density of air is 1.28 kg/m3 and the density of helium in the
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) the volume of helium in the balloon when fully inflated

= 4/3 π R³

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 5.3³

= 623.3 m³

2 ) force of gravity on the entire system ,but with no people

= (mass of the empty balloon and basket + mass of helium )x g

=( 129 +  623.3 x.18 )x 9.8

= 2363.7 N

3 )  magnitude of the buoyant force on the entire system (but with no people )

( Volume of empty balloon + basket + volume of helium ) density of air x g

( 0.057 + 623.3 ) x 1.23 x 9.8

= 7513.94 N

4 )  magnitude of the force of gravity on each person

Mass of each person x g

= 71 x 9.8

= 695.8 N

During Photosynthesis, solar energy is absorbed. What kind of reaction is<br> taking place?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. The light-dependent reactions release oxygen from the hydrolysis of water as a byproduct.

Describe how work done is related to a change in volume of a fluid. 100 points
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: work is the pressure acting through the change in volume

Explanation:

In the same way that work is defined as force operating over a distance,  work is the pressure acting through the change in volume.   Pressure is comparable to force in pressure–volume work, while volume is analogous to distance in the classic definition of work.
